AIR-DRIED FOOD
for Dogs & Cats

FREEZE-DRIED
FOOD
for Dogs & Cats
Like their Air-Dried recipes, Kiwi’s Freeze-Dried foods also offer sustainable, high quality, and high meat options that are naturally rich in Omegas. Plus, dogs get all the benefits of raw food in a cost-effective and simple to feed form, and with their nutrients naturally preserved in order to allow their functionality to remain intact.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly AND convenient way to feed raw, Bixbi’s freeze-dried diets are an excellent way to go. They can be fed in dehydrated or hydrated form, so cats that prefer drier textures can still enjoy the protein packed benefits. With 94-95% meat, organ, and bones, this recipe meets a cat’s needs as an obligate carnivore while also supporting healthy teeth and gums.
RAW FROZEN
FOOD
for Dogs & Cats
With 97% meat, organ, bones, and marrow, protein-packed Tucker’s has worked hard to make it convenient to feed a raw diet and reduce waste, even for picky eaters. Since everything is individually packaged, the patties can’t get stuck together, making portioning a breeze. And because the ingredients have been pureed for maximum nutrition, pets can’t pick out the parts they don’t want to eat, ensuring you are getting the most bang for your buck.
